AG Barr, the maker of Irn-Bru, says supply chain issues led to lost sales of about £10 million. The company attributes the shortfall to problems affecting stock availability and customer service.
In a statement reported by multiple outlets, AG Barr says conditions improve over time. It adds that stock availability and customer service normalise over the second half of the year, implying the impact was not constant throughout the period.
The reports do not give further details on the causes of the disruption, the specific markets affected, or how the figure was calculated. They also do not include comparisons to prior trading periods in the supplied excerpts. Overall, the outlets align on the central points: AG Barr links lost sales to supply chain disruption and says recovery occurs during the second half of the year.
